The Latest Breaking News from Sergei Shoigu

US intelligence claims Gen Sergei Surovikin, who has close ties to Yevgeny Prigozhin, had prior knowledge of uprising

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s position weakened by the Wagner Group’s mutiny amid Ukraine war, analysts say.

Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion exposes fragility within Putin's leadership, with potential impacts on war efforts.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu hosted Cuba’s Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, Gen. Alvaro Lopez Miera, ion Tuesday in what appears to be his first public meeting with a foreign official after the Wagner mercenary group’s boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, led a brief armed rebellion and demanded his dismissal.

WASHINGTON: Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin aimed to detain the heads of the Russian military in last week’s mutiny, but they discovered his planned rebellion early and avoided capture, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Though the Wagner coup over the weekend was over in a matter of hours, it was the strongest challenge against Vladimir Putin and his leadership in his 20 years in office - and it's a challenge that he will be unable to ride out, according to senior Ukrainian officials

It is alleged that General Sergei ‘Armageddon’ Surovikin is being held at the Lefortovo pre-trial detention centre over a plot to oust defence minister Sergei Shoigu

The Belarusian leader confirms that Wagner forces are in Belarus as he hails his own role in halting the recent mutiny.

Russia’s embattled defence minister was in the hot seat long before Yevgeny Prigozhin sent his Wagner mercenaries racing to Moscow on a stated mission to oust him. The latter’s failure shows President Vladimir Putin is unwilling to sacrifice his long-time confidant – at least for now.

Russian president makes address at Kremlin and says that Wagner was entirely financed by state – despite years of denials

The announcement follows the Kremlin's earlier pledge not to prosecute Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters after he stopped the revolt, even though President Vladimir Putin labeled them as traitors.
